It isn’t picked because cheap it’s picked because that’s how Type-Rs have been since they released a CTR. Red front seats and black rears with red sticking.

If you do it I think you’ll have way too much red.

I think in the past they've been finished in Alcantara to match the front seats though. If I were a rich man I'd have my rear seats and rear door panels redone in black Alcantara with red stitching, but I'm not that rich so the stock fabric will do.

I think it’s a novelty item because of how rare and ugly it is : P

DC2 definitely had alcantara/suede on the bolsters:

Looking at EK9 seats though and they don't seem to be the same.

Well suede yes, alacantra no. I've been in my 2017 backseats once but they look/ feel the same to me. Nothing to argue here. Like I said this is a type R tradition since the original to have red front seats and black rears. People like to try arguing weird stuff on here.

It's the same idea, using the same fabric type on the front and rear seats (even if it's not the same color).

I have no idea what you are trying to argue here lol? The car should have red rear seats because one special edition type r in canada for one year did?

Or are you arguing materials in which case it's the same stuff since then lol. I give up, enjoy arguing over useless details.

Man that black back fabric sure looks different, only difference I see is the original ek9 is even worse lol.

It's like some current owners have no idea of the Type-R lineage and just argue random stuff with no idea what they're talking about lol

The cloth they use on the rear seat and rear door panels is not the same that they use in the front of the car, what I'm trying to say is it would have been nice if they used alcantara on the rear seat instead of the cloth that they used. I would have kept it black with a red stitch like it is now, just a material change so it was a little nicer and matched the material of the front seat. They have done this in some previous R cars (DC2, FD2). I don't know why you think I don't know what I'm talking about, you posted 5 different rear seats and 3 of them are using the same material as the front seats of the car (a mix of suede/alcantara and mesh fabric).
